All The Queens Men are honoured to have been shortlisted for the 2018 ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival International Prize for Live Art. We are humbled to be included alongside three outstanding contemporary artists from across the globe including Nic Green (UK), Jeanne Van Heeswijk(NL) and Sonya Lindfors (FI).

From ANTI Festival Director Johanna Tuukkanen: The urgent contributions these celebrated artists make to cultural life share a fascination with the questions of our time, essaying ideas of inclusion, equality, community, diversity, feminism, power and blackness. We’re incredibly excited by the proposition that each of these remarkable artists offer!

All The Queens Men are grateful to receive a Victorian Green Room Award for our 2017 Body of Work (Fun Run, Congress and The Coming Ball). Thanks to all the hundreds of community collaborators who we had the great pleasure of working with.

Congratulations to all the artists who have been nominated!
